Shortly before the end of 2021, Huawei spin-off brand Honor started teasing the foldable Honor Magic V smartphone. Fast forward mere weeks later, and not only has that device been revealed, but we’ve got a full set of specs to boot. Of course, the most significant point of interest for many of us is likely that folding display, so it’s little wonder that Honor described it in very specific detail today. Image: Honor The Honor Magic V comes with two displays, like many phones where the fold is vertical rather than horizontal. On the exterior, we have a 6.45-inch OLED display that’s capable of reaching up to 120Hz and has a resolution of 2560 x 1080. This display is actually a little more adept than the interior display, at least in terms of refresh rate, as the interior display maxes out at 90Hz. That doesn’t mean the interior display is a slouch, though. All opened up, the folding OLED interior screen clocks in at a whopping 7.9 inches, giving it more the feel of a tablet than a phone. Like Xiaomi’s Mi Mix Fold or Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 3, we’re guessing that the Honor Magic V is quite the looker when that interior display is fully opened. Honor says that it uses “an advanced waterdrop hinge technology” to make the Magic V slimmer than its competitors when folded.
